@raphjd said in CIA Officer Who Signed Hunter Biden Laptop Letter Claims Credit for Trump Loss:

https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/cia-officer-who-signed-hunter-biden-laptop-letter-claims-credit-for-trump-loss_4369180.html

Jeeez... give it a rest!

First of all, the I know a guy (a Republican) who claims to have voted twice in the 2020 election, and says HE's the reason Trump won Florida!

And I personally will claim credit for tomorrow's sunrise in Antarctica!

Let's work with some actual facts here:

• The seized laptop still hasn't been confirmed as belonging to Hunter Biden
• The Justice Dept has been unusually tight-lipped (there are usually leaks) about the whole Hunter Biden investigation, but Daddy Biden LEFT the prosecutor (in Delaware) in place (a Trump appointment)
• Remember: new Presidents from opposite parties usually fire the Federal Prosecutors (DAs) and replace them with their own... it's common practice: Trump did it, Biden did it.... except he left the prosecutor in Delaware in place -- "to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest" (something career politicians are used to, but Trump never worried about)
• There HAS been a lot of activity in the Justice Dept with regards to the case(s) against Hunter Biden lately... there is speculation that the investigation is winding down - he'll either be cleared (a Dem wet dream) or charged with something (given what he was up to, this is more likely)
• There has been ZERO indication - from any source - that Joe Biden has been involved in any of Hunter's business dealings
• Hunter may be clean or dirty - either way doesn't mean his dad is either clean or dirty. The same can be said of the Trumps... If daddy gets prosecuted for the Jan 6 coup attempt, that doesn't mean Ivanka is guilty of anything... although the more appropriate analogy would be Baron Trump - after all, he's a completely non-political son of the (past) President.... the same as Hunter Biden.

IMHO: Is Hunter dirty? Likely yes - ironically in many of the same ways Donald Trump is dirty... backroom dealings, payoffs, and "dirty deals" to make money. Will either one be convicted of these "white collar" crimes? unlikely... expensive lawyers usually find a way out....

If you need to build ratio, limit your search on the torrent search/browse page to "freeleech" torrents...

Then, look for NEWLY freeleeched torrents that have only a few seeders....

If you can become a seeder EARLY in the "limited life" of a freeleech, you will likely be seeding plenty of data - because freeleech torrents are very popular downloads!

It's no use trying this on freeleech torrents that already have dozens of seeders - your "share" of seeding won't be that much.

@lololulu19 said in IRS Gave Stimulus Money to Dead People, Even After Error Was Identified: Audit:

Hey... if dead people can vote (for democrats), then they are also entitled to stimulus money!
If one did not have to be 18 years old to vote, the democrats would win every election by having the average million healthy babies aborted every year being able to vote.

400-million dead people voted for Joe Biden! That's the ONLY way he could have won!

Just ask the Trumpites in Ohio - who are still complaining (falsely) that Donald Trump received more votes than there are registered voters in the entire State! (That's a great trick!)

I still say that the #1 reason Trump was so easily goaded into thinking that the Dems MUST have cheated is because he knew that he had cheated and so it made sense that the only way he could have lost to Biden would have been if they'd cheated even more than he had! (Looked at from that perspective, he's not quite as loony... loony as a bat, still... but not quite as loony as a toon!)

I understand your issue - but to be frank, this isn't a porn distribution site, it is a porn SHARING site.... it's not fair to others that you intend to download without "helping" others on the site.

Recently another user - who was using a web-browser-based torrent client to download porn into a tablet lamented that he couldn't share either... well, I'm sorry, but if you can't share then this is NOT the appropriate (fair) way for you to get your porn! Pure and simple. The "technology" of P2P only works when the porn is "crowd-sourced"...

As has been noted here already, there are other ways - but not "free" ways - to "play fair":

• there are ways to use "other" systems to seed (either a cloud-based host of some kind, or a seed-box designed specifically for that purpose)
• you can "buy" your way in (see the donate link on the main page)
• you can pay for "more" Internet connectivity so that you CAN share more appropriately

@gerggently said in Dems who once decried "loose canon" Trump, now defending Biden "going off script":

Yes, which is why his remarks were so refreshing and the fact he's not backing down is making talking heads assplode is beautiful.

Refreshing? His remarks practically panicked our allies - who are even more AFRAID of war than Biden is himself - and fed the Russian paranoia that we were "out to get them" (You know the "red scare" we knew just a few decades ago? Well, they have their own "Yankee scare" culture!)

So many people who I had good time for are misinterpreting what he said, outside of the deliberately dense dullards at Fox and DSA, that I've stopped following a few dozen people on Facebook and Twitter.

Unfollowing people because they don't agree with your own interpretation of events ... how Trumpian of you! (You have learned well, grasshopper... the dark side of the Force strong within you!)

Speechwriters are not noted for their bravery.

Do you think Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" comment was "off the cuff"?

Speechwriters don't PUT the words into the politician's mouths, they POLISH the words that come out of their mouths! If Biden wanted to call for regime change in Russia - without giving Putin the soundbites he'll use to excuse many many more heinous war crimes - his speechwriters could have found a way....

I suspect the NSA is learning to "cull" actual national secrets OUT of Presidential briefings for Biden the same way they did for Trump... loose lips sink ships!

R-O-F-L ... it comes full circle now!

Read the article...

Hunter Biden conspired with other Democrats from the Clinton and Obama administrations, along with those evil Ukrainians (what happened to the Chinese?) to release COVID-19 to get Trump out of office!

Of course, they planned the COVID-19 crisis - because it's so common that US Voters choose to oust a sitting President during a crisis! (Historically - not so much! Had Trump handled the crisis as most Presidents would: by galvanizing the country around a unified response, he'd have been re-elected in the landslide he always dreamed of! Instead, he turned it into a political football, blaming others for stupid things and setting Americans against Americans over a distrust of science! DOH!)

Re-read the article - without the "world-view" that every one of the 7 billion people, except for the 70+ million who voted for Trump in 2020, were conspiring to get him (Trump) out of office...

You can certainly try to "couch" Biden's remarks vis-à-vis "regime change" in Russia - as "harmless" and "misinterpreted" ... all the liberals ARE!

Just the same as when Trump wanted a "bleach infusion" to stop COVID-19, the Trumpites lamented exactly the same thing!

The one thing the Dems (when it was Trump), and the talking heads you now disagree with are agreed upom is:

The words of the President of the United States matter!

I cant find a source, but I'm pretty sure that's a close actual quote from ... candidate Joe Biden ca. 2020!

Biden's off-the-cuff remark may have been intended as a plea to the Russian populace to rid themselves of a tyrant - but it's also perfect fodder for Putin's narrative that the "West" is plotting against the Russian People and that NATO is poised to attack at any moment!

Could Biden have said the same thing WITHOUT providing a "the yanks are coming - after us" soundbite for Putin's propaganda machine? you know it! That's what speechwriters are for!

I'm afraid you've both made multiple claims - all without proof (or, at least a reference)... some obviously exaggerated, some questionable, some laughable, and some believable...

@bi4smooth

This isn't the 1st time Democrats have edited something, then claimed it was a mistake.

I remember a photo of someone doing that on another topic.

But THIS is the instance you're taking your stand on...

@raphjd said in Scotland's Health Minister repeatedly caught break mask mandate:

@bi4smooth

LOL, when have I ever said any of that bullshit? I'll wait.

I have said that I know covid is real. But, I also know it's not as bad as they claim, otherwise they would take wearing masks much more seriously for themselves and their families. I also posted about people in the media being caught without a mask, including an entire building full at the BBC, during the maks mandate.

You claim that you don't believe that mask nazis exist, despite some of the conversations here in this section about masks. Not to mention your claim to get your news from multiple sources. If you actually did, then you'd know that the liberal media was constantly yammering on about it.

Zealots about masks? sure!

Crazies about masks? sure!

"Mask Nazis"? not so much... hyperbole, you have found a home in @raphjd's feeble mind... enjoy your stay!

Throughout the Trump administration, President Trump would routinely add his own words to speeches - esp at pressers... much to the dismay of his staff, and the delight of his detractors. He had some real doozies in his day (remember when he - off the cuff - seemed to imply that he wanted to use household disinfectants, intravenously, to fight COVID-19?)

The Dems were all "The President's words matter" at the time...

Now, the President is an even OLDER man: Joe Biden... and one who, while not as often (IMHO: because he's not actively trying to be the headline of every news-cycle!) ALSO has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth!

Most recently, President Biden remarked that (paraphrasing) Putin cannot remain in power... which is an implication that he's ready to commit to "regime change" in Russia! (That is actually a violation of US Law - for the US to "participate in the overthrow" of a Government, esp if done violently - without the express approval of Congress... like was done for Iraq).

Also, while in Poland and addressing US Troops stationed there, Biden remarked "off the cuff" that they (the troops) would see for themselves the butchery of Putin's army in Ukraine... in spite of the fact that we have a National Security Policy that states that we WILL NOT send US Troops to Ukraine as part of this conflict! (oops)

This is what happens when you have leaders THIS OLD! Biden is even older than Trump - and neither are mentally as sharp as they once were.

@raphjd said in Levin Calls For Schiff To Be Disbarred Over Doctored J6 Committee Text Messages:

@bi4smooth

So you support editing.

Clearly, you support the FBI twat editing the CIA email too.

Editing my ass - an intern made a minor mistake.
When it was pointed out, the Democrats who used the poster apologized and literally "scraped off" the offending period.

Editing implies knowingly modifying something - this wasn't that.

I agree with @NF16 - this is an unusually minor issue for you to stake so much on...

@raphjd said in US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is hospitalized:

@hubrys

I'd like to see proof of your claims.

That says everything about you and your ilk.

I agree @hubrys was a little hyperbolic in his depiction of Justice Thomas believing that the US should have a religion (after all, he is an originalist) - but he certainly DOES think religion (and specifically christian beliefs) should play a larger role in US law and policy.

@raphjd said in Levin Calls For Schiff To Be Disbarred Over Doctored J6 Committee Text Messages:

@bi4smooth

Are you suggesting there was ever a reason to edit it?

I'm suggesting that adding a period was inconsequential. I would argue that the choice of FONT used on the poster had more impact than the extra period.

@raphjd said in Scotland's Health Minister repeatedly caught break mask mandate:

@bi4smooth

Ah, so all the mask nazis have no issue with politicians repeatedly breaking their own mask mandate.

So you people, never really cared about masks.

Gotcha.

I am neither a liberal, nor a "mask nazi" (although I can honestly say, I don't think such a person actually exists - anywhere but in your sick imagination, anyway)....

Like I said - your overuse of hyperbole has "done you in" here... no one is biting! Even when they story is a legit one, because you claim everything about COVID-19 is a conspiracy against all God-Fearing Christian White Men, your cries are falling on deaf (by your own bloviation) ears!

So, a note on DUPLICATES -

To be a duplicate, the "other" torrent has to be "alive" (that is: at least one seeder or at least one leecher).

If the torrent you're wanting to seed (and see as a potential duplicate) is DEAD (no seeders & no leechers), then upload your torrent as NEW, and send a note to the helpdesk explaining that the old one is dead. A Staffer will delete the old one & let your new one start anew (that is: atop the "latest torrents" board).

The problem with just re-animating (that is seeding a dead torrent) is that you can't get anyone to FIND it! Most people are only looking at NEW torrents... you need that presence at the top of the list to get any action on it!

NOTE: These are my own personal observations - I do not speak for the system owner(s) or Staff... but I've been around here since 2008 - I've learned a thing or two, I have!

@raphjd said in Scotland's Health Minister repeatedly caught break mask mandate:

Typical, the liberal mask nazis are silent when their own break the very rules they impose on the rest of us.

Your use of the term "liberal mask nazis" belies your extreme hyperbole in the matter - which may explain why so few are taking your "click bait" any longer.

"Politician is a hypocrite"

Headlines such as these are as boring to the public sensibility as "dog chases cat, fails to catch it"

Not that politicians being hypocritical shouldn't be called out - they should... but you're the "boy who cried wolf" here!

@raphjd said in Twitter Suspends Account of Female Swimmer Who Said ‘Biological Male’ Lia Thomas ‘Stole’ Her Finals Spot:

@bi4smooth

Twitter didn't stop there.

They suspended accounts of anyone who retweeted it.

Again: As with others... I do not agree with their decision, but as a private company (e.g.: NOT a Governmental body), they are entitled to "police" their forum in their own way... just as @raphjd is free to police THIS forum as he sees fit
